The Spirit of Things podcast by Rachael Kohn is the podcast of the program with the same name aired on Australia's ABC radio national, which can be found at www.abc.au/rn. The podcast starts with a song inspired by nature, which is sung melodiously. The podcast is an adventure into spirituality and religion, and how it is related to culture, art, music, rituals, and sacred texts.
The podcast contains interviews with people who have either been studying these topics for a long time, or generally have been affected by their faith during troubled times. It is not restricted to any specific religion, but draws powers from every religion and faith, and the underlying sense of communal harmony that is essential to bring about in today's world of destruction, greed, and power.
Rachael has a very clear voice, and the interviews are held face-to-face, which makes this podcast stand out from those that carry their interviews on the phone, making it difficult to understand the speaker. The only drawback that I found with this podcast is that the total volume of the podcast is a bit lower than it should be.

2008-04-27 Bob Carr on Religion and Politics
Author: ABC Radio National Sun, Apr 27, 2008
The former Labor Premier of NSW, Bob Carr, is as much a critic of totalitarianism as he is of the Bible's call to obedience. But that hasn't stopped him from reading the Bible, the ancient epics and the great modern works that plumb the meaning of God and man's destiny as he reveals in his new book, My Reading Life.

2008-04-20 Moon, Money and Messiah
Author: ABC Radio National Sun, Apr 20, 2008
Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church (the Moonies), claimed that he was 'humanity's Saviour, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent' in 2004. Moon's influence within the US government is remarkable given his extremely critical views of American society and his own Messianic designs, the subject of John Gorenfeld's investigations in his book, Bad Moon Rising.
